[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 715299, member: 54263"] The airline industry does It for two reasons, one mostly for safety. Nitrogen does not take the same effects that regular air takes in extreme temperatures. So, at 30,000 feet when things are negative 35 degrees, there is not moisture in the tires that can freeze. As well, when you land and hit the run way, the heat from touchdown to the supporting load of the plane is not affect in the same way that regular air is. Also, from a maintenance aspect it is better as they lose less air due to normal slow leaks and no moisture build up within the wheel to rust the componenets... [/QUOTE]
